n English my name means hope. In Spanish it means too many letters. It means sadness, it means waiting. It is like the number nine. A muddy color. It is the Mexican records my father plays on Sunday mornings when he is shaving, songs like sobbing. (4.1)

This author is creative and really has her style dancing through every page. Sometimes the stories are predictable, some are like things only have seen in movies. It okay to read something quick not everything has to be long in order for you to get the purpose or message across. I recommend this book because it’s great and gives a little taste of something different throughout the whole book. This book can be used for more than a choice read or a forced read, it’s great for a project or research there are many details and background information on the author and book.
